SONUS.CA -- a new resource for everyone interested in sonic art.
Looking for a place to hear new electroacoustic works, or to make your
own materials available for listening? -- Sonus.ca -- a permanent
searchable web jukebox of hundreds of pieces by artists from around the
world.
The CEC (Communauté électroacoustique canadienne (CEC) Canadian
Electroacoustic Community), presents SONUS, a permanent and
ever-expanding on-line electroacoustic repertoire, complete with program
notes and short composer biographies, freely accessible to the public.
Future plans include a Flash version with playlists, an improved search
engine and curated galleries. For now, just click on http://www.sonus.ca
for a listen and a look. Enjoy!
Participation :
All composers and sonic artists are invited and encouraged to contribute
works to SONUS. Submission details are available at http://www.sonus.ca
Education / Research :
This collection offers a permanent database of sounds and pieces, which
the international education and research community in music/sound
perception can access freely.
For class use, students can be directed to specific works, or encouraged
to explore the range of pieces. With access to parallel articles on
analysis / description (starting with http://www.econtact.ca), the
Sonus.ca site is an invaluable teaching aid for both the sound-oriented
and the general student of this art form.
Thanks :
The site has been made possible with the support of the Canada Council
for the Arts (Music Section), participating composers, and the <pep>
team.
